But yeah, they're against "elitism."
I think that's just a dog whistle for "better educated," or "better job than I have" or "has a newer car than mine."
I believe you have struck upon the crux of it. It's the anti-yuppie movement, boiled over for a few decades.
Housefull of kids in a trailer envious of DINKS in a nice place. (Double Income, No Kids) Or envy of any other people who have indeed made better decisions in life.
Better decisions. That's ANOTHER dumb Republican argument. You know the one, right? 'The poor have no one to blame but themselves, because they didn't make better decisions in life.'
Can their thinking really be that dense? SMH
